SALESFORCE LIMITS OVERVIEW
Salesforce Limits is a reference guide that covers a variety of limits associated with Salesforce features and products. However, Salesforce
Limits doesn’t cover all limits and some limits may not apply to your organization.
Keep in mind that stated limits aren’t a guarantee that the specified resource is available at its limit in all circumstances. For example,
some limits depend on load, performance, and other system issues. In addition, Salesforce Limits doesn't include limits of:
• User interface elements in the Salesforce application
• Field lengths of Salesforce objects
• Desktop integration clients
All limits are subject to change at any time. Contact Salesforce for more information.
For limits related to developing applications with Apex, SOAP, REST, or another API, see Salesforce Developer Limits Quick Reference.

You can add an attachment to the Attachments related list of a case, solution, campaign, task, or event, or to the Notes and Attachments
related list of an account, contact, lead, opportunity, or custom object. If you don't see the related list on task or event page layouts, you
may need to ask your administrator to add it. All file types are supported, including everything from Microsoft® PowerPoint presentations
and Excel spreadsheets, to Adobe® PDFs, image files, audio files, and video files.

When data is substituted for the tokens in the URL, the link may exceed 3,000 bytes. Your browser may enforce additional limits for
the maximum URL length.

Each relationship is included in the maximum number of custom fields allowed.

Maximum number of records that can be queued per hour in an org, across all Omni-Channel-enabled queues. Each time an item is
assigned to an Omni-Channel queue, the platform checks how many items were queued in the preceding hour. If the limit has been
reached, the item isn’t assigned to the queue.
Increased App Limits with Expansion Pack and Unlimited Apps Pack
Increase app-related limits in your organization with Expansion Pack or Unlimited Apps Pack.
Expansion Pack for Professional Edition
For Professional Edition, you can purchase Expansion Pack units to increase app, tab, and object limits. Each Expansion Pack unit

Adding Pack Units
Expansion pack and Unlimited Apps Pack units are available for Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Force.com, and Site.com-Only users. An
organization can be upgraded only once with Expansion Pack or Unlimited Apps Pack. If your organization needs higher app limits than
what the pack provides, we recommend upgrading your organization’s edition. To add Expansion Pack or Unlimited Apps Pack units,
contact your Salesforce representative.
Accessibility Limits
General accessibility limits, and limits for keyboards and screen readers.
General Accessibility Limits
Accessibility features haven’t been incorporated into Chatter or the Salesforce console.
Salesforce Features Not Optimized for Sighted Keyboard Users
The following functionality and features aren't fully accessible for sighted keyboard users, either due to their third-party ownership, lack
of adequate current support for accessibility solutions, or limitations imposed by our development environments:
• A visual focus indicator hasn't been implemented.
• Some content is displayed in overlay boxes without implementing corresponding keyboard focus and order control. These are found
in Chatter and training videos.
• Some of the rich interactive interfaces, such as drag-and-drop interfaces, aren't keyboard-accessible. These may have an alternative
provided or may not be available in Accessibility Mode.
Salesforce Features Not Optimized for Screen Reader Users
The following functionality and features aren't fully accessible for screen reader users, either due to their third-party ownership, lack of
adequate current support for accessibility solutions, or limitations imposed by our development environments:

Salesforce Limits Overview
Salesforce Reports and Dashboards Limits Per Edition
• Some of the rich interactive interfaces, such as drag and drop interfaces, are not accessible. These may have an alternative provided
or may not be available in Accessibility Mode.
• PDF files have not been marked up for accessibility and do not have an alternative provided.
• Training videos don't provide audio description (including extended audio description).
• Some content is displayed in overlay boxes that aren't recognized as modal by screen readers, allowing the user to interact with
other content without dismissing the overlay. These are found in Chatter and training videos.
• The session timeout warning may not provide sufficient time for a user response if a slow reading rate is used.
Accessibility features haven’t been incorporated into Chatter or the Salesforce console.

Search Limits
Search limits for file extensions and sizes, synonym groups, and picklists.
IN THIS SECTION:
Search Limits for Documents
Search limits by file type and file size for documents.
Search Limits for Synonyms
With synonym groups, sets of words or phrases are treated equally in searches. A search for a term in a synonym group returns results
for all terms in the group. An org can create up to 10,000 synonym groups.
Search Limits for Picklists
When sorting search results for a particular object, you can’t click on column headings for multi-select picklist fields because you
can’t sort the multi-select picklist field type.
Search Limits for Documents
Search limits by file type and file size for documents.
Searching document content supports multiple file types and has file size limits. The contents of documents that exceed the maximum
sizes are not searched; however, the document fields are still searched. Only the first 1,000,000 characters of text are searched. Text
beyond this limit is not included in the search.

Search Limits for Picklists
When sorting search results for a particular object, you can’t click on column headings for multi-select picklist fields because you can’t
sort the multi-select picklist field type.
Standard Object Limits
Standard object limits include usage details for object customizations, such as the custom fields
you’ve added or sharing rules you’ve applied to an object.
EDITIONS
The list varies depending on the object. When a customization exceeds the allowed limit for the
object, or reaches 75% of the limit, a tip displays that suggests what you can do next.
Available in: both Salesforce
Classic and Lightning
Experience
Refer to the standard object limits page when you’re planning to customize a particular standard
object or to monitor the usage and limits of customizations on that object.
From the management settings for the appropriate object, go to Limits.
Note: The object limit percentages are truncated, not rounded. For example, if your
organization uses 95.55% of the limit for a particular customization, the object limit displays
95%.

Custom Picklist Limits
Limits for customized selection lists that let users pick values from a predefined list of entries.
Within the 15,000 total character limit, custom picklists can have:
• Up to 1,000 entries
• Up to 255 characters per entry
Custom multi-select picklists can have up to 500 values. Users can select up to 100 values at a time on a record.
Custom Settings Limits
Limits for the amount of cached data allowed for custom settings.
You can access custom settings from formula fields, validation rules, Apex, and the SOAP API.
The following limits apply to the cached data amount and custom settings.
• The total amount of cached data allowed for your organization is the lesser of these two values:
– 10 MB
– 1 MB multiplied by the number of full-featured user licenses in your organization
For example, if your organization has three full licenses, you have 3 MB of custom setting storage. If your organization has 20 full
licenses, you have 10 MB of storage.
• Each certified managed package gets a separate limit in addition to your organization limit. For example, let’s say your organization
has two certified managed packages installed and your organization has three full licenses. Each certified managed package can
have 3 MB of custom setting storage in addition to your organization’s 3-MB custom setting storage limit.
17
Salesforce Limits Overview
Customer Portal Limits
• You can add up to 300 fields per custom setting, unless your field limit for custom objects is lower than 300. If your custom objects
field limit is lower than 300, your field limit for custom settings is equal to your custom objects field limit.
Standard Picklist Limits
Limits for the number of entries in standard picklists.
Picklists are customized selection lists that let users pick values from a predefined list of entries.
The maximum number of entries you can have in a picklist is determined by the total number of characters allowed in the picklist, which
is 15,000 characters. Note that each entry includes a line break and a return character that are not visible. These two additional characters
per entry are counted as part of the 15,000 character limit.
For standard picklists, entries can be up to 40 characters, not including line breaks and returns. For standard multi-select picklists, the
total number of characters for all entries cannot exceed 255.
For standard picklists in organizations that use record types or the Translation Workbench, you can have an unlimited number of entries
with the following exceptions for special picklists.

Custom Object Limits in Customer Portals
The following limits apply to custom objects in Customer Portals.
• The maximum number of custom objects you can include in a Customer Portal is determined by the total number of custom objects
your Edition allows.
• Also, user licenses control the number of custom objects a portal user can see in a Customer Portal. For information, contact Salesforce.
Person Account Limits
A Salesforce user can be the owner of up to 1000 person account portal users. This includes person account users with Customer
Community Plus, Customer Portal, and other role-based portal licenses. Person account users with high volume portal licenses such as
High Volume Customer Portal or Customer Community don’t count against this limit. Users with partner portal or Partner Community
licenses can’t be person accounts users, so this limit doesn’t apply.
18
Salesforce Limits Overview
Data Import Limits
Portal Roles Limit
The maximum number of portal roles for an organization is 5000. This limit includes portal roles associated with all of the organization’s
customer portals, partner portals, or communities. To prevent unnecessary growth of this number, we recommend reviewing and
reducing the number of roles for each of your portals and communities. Additionally, delete any unused portal roles. If you still require
more portal roles, please contact Salesforce Customer Support.
Data Import Limits
Limits for importing data with Data Loader.
The following limits apply to data imported using Data Loader.
Only dates within a certain range are valid. The earliest valid date is 1700-01-01T00:00:00Z GMT, or just after midnight on January 1,
1700. The latest valid date is 4000-12-31T00:00:00Z GMT, or just after midnight on December 31, 4000. These values are offset by your
time zone. For example, in the Pacific time zone, the earliest valid date is 1699-12-31T16:00:00, or 4:00 PM on December 31, 1699.
When using Data Loader version 28.0 and later, the maximum field size for imported CSV files is 32,000 characters.

The maximum size of email messages for Email Services varies depending on language and character set. The size of an email message
includes the email headers, body, attachments, and encoding. As a result, an email with a 25 MB attachment would likely exceed the
25 MB total size limit for an email message, after accounting for the size of headers, body, and encoding.

Mass Email Limits
Daily Limits for Workflow Emails
Daily Limits for Workflow Emails
Limits for workflow and approval-related email alerts.
The daily limit for emails sent through email alerts is 1,000 per standard Salesforce license per organization—except for free Developer
Edition and trial organizations, where the daily workflow email limit is 15 per standard Salesforce license. The overall organization limit
is 2,000,000. This limit applies to emails sent through email alerts in workflow rules, approval processes, flows, processes, or the REST
API.
The limit restriction is based on activity in the 24-hour period starting and ending at midnight GMT. Adding or removing a user license
immediately adjusts the limit's total. If you send an email alert to a group, every recipient in that group counts against your daily workflow
email limit.
After your organization has reached its daily workflow email limit:
• Any emails in the workflow queue left over and not sent that day are discarded. Salesforce doesn't try to resend them later.
• If a workflow rule with an action and an email alert is triggered, only the email action is blocked.
• Final approval, final rejection, approval, rejection, and recall email actions are blocked.
• An error message is added to the debug log.
The following items don't count against the workflow email limit:
• Approval notification emails
• Task assignment notifications
• Lead assignment rules notifications
• Case assignment rules notifications
• Case escalation rules notifications
• Force.com sites usage alerts
When workflow email alerts approach or exceed certain limits, Salesforce sends a warning email to the default workflow user or—if the
default workflow user isn't set—to an active system administrator.

Mass Email Limits
Limits for sending mass emails per edition.
You can send mass email to a maximum of 1,000 external email addresses per day per organization based on Greenwich Mean Time
(GMT). The maximum number of external addresses you can include in each mass email depends on your edition:
Edition
External Address Limit per Mass Email

The following additional limits apply to mass emails.
• The single and mass email limits don't take unique addresses into account. For example, if you have [email protected]
in your email 10 times, that counts as 10 against the limit.
• You can send an unlimited amount of email to your organization’s internal users, which includes portal users.
• You can send mass emails only to contacts, person accounts, leads, and your organization’s internal users.
• In Developer Edition organizations and organizations evaluating Salesforce during a trial period, your organization can send mass
email to no more than 10 external email addresses per day. This lower limit does not apply if your organization was created before
the Winter '12 release and already had mass email enabled with a higher limit. Additionally, your organization can send single emails
to a maximum of 15 email addresses per day.
• You can’t send a mass email using a Visualforce email template.

consider removing rich text area fields from mobile page layouts. If a mobile user edits a rich text area field that contains an existing
text entry longer than 1,000 characters, the mobile application truncates the text in the field.
Limitations on Lookup Filters
Lookup filters are administrator settings that restrict the valid values and lookup dialog results for lookup, master-detail, and hierarchical
relationship fields.
Limitations on Encrypted Fields
Encrypting fields places some limits on what you can do with filters and Visualforce pages.
Classic Encryption
The following limitations apply to fields encrypted with Classic Encryption.
• Encrypted fields are not available for use in filters such as list views, reports, roll-up summary fields, and rule filters.
• You can use encrypted fields in email templates but the value is always masked regardless of whether you have the “View Encrypted
Data” permission.
• Only the <apex:outputField> component supports presenting encrypted fields in Visualforce pages.
Limitations on Rich Text Area Fields
The mobile application treats rich text area fields like long-text area fields, which don’t support formatted HTML content or images. The
mobile application truncates rich text area fields at 1,000 characters, which includes HTML markup. Administrators should consider
removing rich text area fields from mobile page layouts. If a mobile user edits a rich text area field that contains an existing text entry
longer than 1,000 characters, the mobile application truncates the text in the field.

Salesforce Limits Overview
Field Limitations
Limitations on Lookup Filters
Lookup filters are administrator settings that restrict the valid values and lookup dialog results for lookup, master-detail, and hierarchical
relationship fields.
The following limitations apply to lookup filters.
• Lookup filter criteria can’t reference these types of fields:
– Relationship fields on activities
– System fields that are always read only, such as Created By and Modified By
– Relationship fields that support queues, such as Case Owner and Lead Owner
• Each object can have up to five active required lookup filters and an unlimited number of optional lookup filters. If you reach the
limit of required lookup filters for an object, create optional filters instead and use validation rules to enforce your business rule when
a user saves.
• Lookup filters on currency fields don't convert currencies. For example, if your organization uses multiple currencies and a lookup
filter criteria is Expected Revenue greater than 100000, the lookup shows all records with an Expected Revenue
field value greater than 100,000, regardless of the currency.
• You can’t use special date values, such as “Today” or “This Month,” in lookup filter criteria.
• You can’t delete fields that are referenced in an active lookup filter.
• You can’t change the field type of fields referenced by an active lookup filter.
• Lookup filter criteria can’t reference these types of fields on the source object:
– Autonumber
– Encrypted
– Formula
– Long text area
– Multi-select picklist
– Roll-up summary
– Text
– Text area
– URL
• Lookup auto-completion doesn’t work for user lookups with additional drop-down lists. This is primarily for organizations that have
set up either a partner portal or Customer Portal.
• In enhanced list views, you cannot change fields that are referenced by a dependent lookup filter criteria.
• Lookup filters do not support mass owner changes. If your lookup filter criteria reference the Owner field, performing a mass owner
change can result in incorrect values that won't be noticed until you attempt to save the record.
• A lookup filter can’t reference a formula, if the formula references global merge fields that aren’t supported by the lookup filter.
• Lookup filter criteria on Account Name only apply to business accounts, not person accounts. For example, if your lookup filter
criteria is Account Name does not contain book, business accounts with “book” in the name, such as John’s Bookstore,
are not valid, but person accounts with “book” in the name, such as John Booker, are valid and appear in the lookup dialog for the
Account field. If you need to filter on the name for a person account, use the First Name or Last Name fields instead.
• Salesforce does not support inline editing in list views for:
– Fields on the source object that are referenced in dependent lookups.
– Fields with dependent lookups.

For file storage, Contact Manager, Group, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions are allocated a per-user limit
multiplied by the number of users in the organization plus an additional per-organization allocation. For example, a Professional Edition
organization with 10 users receives 11 GB of file storage, or 100 MB per user multiplied by 10 users plus an additional 10 GB. A Professional
Edition organization with 100 users receives 20 GB of file storage, or 100 MB per user multiplied by 100 users plus an additional 10 GB.
For data storage, Contact Manager, Group, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions are allocated either 1 GB or a
per-user limit, whichever is greater. For example, a Professional Edition organization with 10 users receives 1 GB because 10 users
multiplied by 20 MB per user is 200 MB, which is less than the 1 GB minimum. A Professional Edition organization with 100 users receives
more than the 1 GB minimum because 100 users multiplied by 20 MB per user is 2,000 MB.
File storage and data storage are calculated asynchronously, so your organization’s storage usage isn’t updated immediately if you import
or add a large number of records or files.
The values in the Storage Allocation Per User License columns below apply to Salesforce and Salesforce Platform user licenses. Other
standard user licenses, such as Communities user licenses, include additional storage. For a description of user licenses, see User Licenses
Overview. If your organization uses custom user licenses, contact Salesforce to determine if these licenses provide additional storage.

Force.com Site Billing Limits
Terminology for limits and billing associated with Force.com sites.
The following terminology applies to Force.com sites limits and billing:
32
Salesforce Limits Overview
General Sandbox and Sandbox Storage Limits
• “Page Views” are calculated as the total number of pages served from either the site's origin server or the cache server .
• “Bandwidth” is calculated as the number of megabytes served and received from both the site's origin server and the cache server.
• “Service request time” is calculated as the total server time in minutes required to generate pages for the site.
• “Rolling 24-hour period” refers to the 24 hours immediately preceding the current time.
• “Origin server” refers to the Web server that hosts your site.
• “Cache server” refers to the CDN server that serves your cached site pages.
• “Current period” refers to the current calendar month for which you are entitled a certain number of page views for your organization.
Salesforce enforces the following limits on monthly page views for Force.com sites:
• Billing is based on the number of monthly page views purchased for your organization. This page view limit is cumulative for all sites
in your organization.
• If, in a given calendar month, your organization reaches 110% of its page view limit, Salesforce sends the site and billing administrators
email notification.
• If your organization exceeds 110% of its page view limit for four consecutive calendar months, your sites are disabled until the next
calendar month begins or you purchase more page views. Also, Salesforce sends email notification to the site and billing administrators,
as well as the related account executive.
• If, in a given calendar month, your organization reaches 300% of its page view limit, your sites are disabled until the next calendar
month begins or you purchase more page views. Also, Salesforce sends email notification to the site and billing administrators, as
well as the related account executive.
General Sandbox and Sandbox Storage Limits
Limits for sandbox environments.
A sandbox is a copy of your organization in a separate environment, you can use for a variety of purposes, such as testing and training.
Sandboxes are completely isolated from your Salesforce production organization and operations you perform in your sandboxes do not
affect your Salesforce production organization.
The following limits apply to sandboxes.
• You can refresh a Full sandbox 29 days after you created or last refreshed it. If you delete a Full sandbox within those 29 days, you
need to wait until after the 29 day period, from the date of last refresh or creation, to replace it.
• You can refresh a Partial Copy sandbox 5 days after you created or last refreshed it. If you delete a Partial Copy sandbox within those
5 days, you need to wait until after the 5 day period, from the date of last refresh or creation, to replace it.
• You can refresh a Developer or Developer Pro sandbox once per day.
• Enterprise Edition includes licenses for 25 Developer sandboxes.
• Performance Edition includes licenses for 1 Full sandbox, 1 Partial Copy sandbox, 5 Developer Pro sandboxes, and 100 Developer
sandboxes.
• Unlimited Edition includes licenses for 1 Full sandbox, 5 Developer Pro sandboxes, and 50 Developer sandboxes.
• If you need licenses for more sandboxes, contact Salesforce to order sandboxes for your organization.
The following limits apply to Sandbox storage limits.
• Partial Copy sandboxes have a 5 GB of files and a 5 GB of data storage limit.
• Developer Pro sandboxes have a 1 GB of files and a 1 GB of data storage limit.
• Developer sandboxes have a 200 MB of files and a 200 MB of data storage limit.
• Full sandboxes have the same storage limit as your production organization.
33
Salesforce Limits Overview
Partner Portal Limits
• Sandboxes don’t send email notifications when storage limits are reached. However, if you reach the storage limit of your sandbox,
you can’t save new data in your sandbox. To check your storage limits, from Setup, enter Storage Usage in the Quick Find
box, then select Storage Usage in your sandbox.
Partner Portal Limits
Limits for partner portals.
Maximum number of partner portals
You can create a maximum of 5 partner portals in your organization. Increases to that number are subject to product manager approval
and require detailed use cases.
Maximum number of portal roles
The maximum number of portal roles for an organization is 5000. This limit includes portal roles associated with all of the organization’s
customer portals, partner portals, or communities. To prevent unnecessary growth of this number, we recommend reviewing and
reducing the number of roles for each of your portals and communities. Additionally, delete any unused portal roles. If you still require
more portal roles, please contact Salesforce Customer Support.
Password Policy Limits
Limits for the number and use of user passwords.
You can set various password and login policies to secure your organization.
Note: User passwords cannot exceed 16,000 bytes.
Logins are limited to 3,600 per hour per user. This limit applies to organizations created after Summer ’08.
Salesforce Console Limits
General limits for using a Salesforce console.
A Salesforce console is an app for finding, updating, and creating records quickly.
For best performance, we recommend using Internet Explorer 8, 9, or 10 or the latest stable version of Firefox or Google Chrome when
using Live Agent in the Salesforce console. The following limits apply to the Salesforce console.
• If you log in to another Salesforce app while you’re logged in to a Salesforce console app, you can’t accept new chat requests.
• In Chatter Answers, administrators can’t customize the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) available to customers when they click
Need help?.
• Internet Explorer 8 users receive a security warning if you customize with URLs that don't include https://.
Site Edition Limits
Limits for the number of sites, bandwidth, service request time, and maximum page views per edition.
Site.com is a Web content management system (CMS) for building and managing dynamic, data-driven Web pages, and edit content
in real time.

Limits for importing sites and files.
The maximum site size you can import is 2 GB.The maximum file size you can import is 50 MB unless you import and unzip a .zip file. In
that case, you can import a .zip file of up to 200 MB if you select Unzip files during the import process.
Web Request Limits
Limits for concurrent usage on web requests.
To ensure that resources are available for all Salesforce users, limits are placed on the number of long-running Web requests that one
organization can send at the same time. Salesforce monitors the number of concurrent requests issued by all users logged in to your
organization, and compares that number against the maximum limit. In this way, the number of concurrent requests is kept below the
maximum limit. The limit ensures that resources are available uniformly to all organizations and prevents deliberate or accidental
over-consumption by any one organization.
If too many requests are issued by users in your organization, you may have to wait until one of them has finished before you can perform
your task. For example, assume that MyCorporation has 100,000 users. At 9:00 AM, each user requests a report that contains 200,000
records. Salesforce starts to run the report for all users until the maximum number of concurrent requests has been met. At that point,
Salesforce refuses to take any additional requests until some of the reports have completed.
Similar limits are placed on requests issued from the API.

Posts and comments that users make in Chatter are retained during the entire time that a customer's applicable organization remains
provisioned. We reserve the right to enforce limits on:
• The number of system-generated tracked feed updates. Currently tracked feed updates that are older than 45 days and have no
likes or comments are deleted automatically. The tracked feed updates no longer appear in the feed. However, if auditing is enabled
for a tracked field, the audit history for that field is still available.
• The number of email notifications that can be sent per organization per hour.
Browser Limits for Chatter
Some third-party Web browser plug-ins and extensions can interfere with the functionality of Chatter. If you experience malfunctions
or inconsistent behavior with Chatter, disable the Web browser's plug-ins and extensions and try again.
Chatter Mentions Limits
You can’t mention archived groups, unlisted groups, customer groups, and private groups you’re not a member of. If a person who isn’t
a member of a private group is mentioned in a post or comment on that private group, the mention link displays as gray, unless this
mentioned person has “Modify All Data” permission. In this case the link displays in blue. However, the Salesforce security and sharing
rules still apply. People who aren’t a member of a private group don’t have access to the private group and won’t see or get notified
about any updates.

User Sharing Limits in Chatter
Salesforce administrators can configure user sharing to show or hide an internal or external user from another user in an organization.
In Chatter, there are exceptions where users who aren’t shared can still see and interact with each other. For example, in a public Chatter
group, everyone with access to the group can see all posts, the names of the users who post, and mention users who commented on
a post, regardless of user sharing.
Example: Let’s say you set up user sharing so Mary and Bob can’t see or interact with each other. Mary posts on a public Chatter
group. She can’t mention Bob, because user sharing prevents Bob’s name from showing up in the mention drop-down list. However,
Bob can see Mary’s post and he comments on her post. Now Mary can actually mention Bob in her next comment on her post.

Contacts are the people associated with business accounts that are tracked in Salesforce. Each contact includes various kinds of information,
such as phone numbers, addresses, titles, and roles in a deal.
47
Salesforce Limits Overview
Contacts Limitations
Sharing and Access Limitations for Contacts
• Contact sharing isn’t available for organizations that have territory management or person accounts.
• You can’t restrict access to contacts beyond your organization’s default access levels.
• You need at least read access to the contacts and leads that you invite to an event. You need at least “Add Events” on a resource to
invite it to an event.
• A contact that isn’t linked to an account is always private, regardless of your organization’s sharing model. Only the owner of the
contact and administrators can view it. Sharing rules and workflow rules don’t apply to private contacts. If your organization uses
divisions, private contacts always belong to the global division.
• If a recipient doesn’t have access to the account, you can’t share the contact unless you also have permission to share the account.
• If your organization-wide default for contacts is set to Controlled by Parent, the Contact Access options aren’t available when
you share related records such as accounts. Instead, all access to contacts is determined by the user’s access to the contact’s account.
• If your organization-wide default for contacts is Controlled by Parent and your organization-wide default for accounts is Private, you
can’t view contacts for accounts that you don’t own, even if you have the View All permission on the account object. However, if
you own a contact on an account, you can view other contacts on the same account. (Access to a parent account gives you access
to the associated child records.)
Limitations for Merging Contacts
• You can’t modify the Merge My Contacts page layout.
• When you’re searching for contacts to merge, you can’t add filters to the search criteria.
• Merged contacts don’t retain related Chatter feeds.
Limitations for Importing Contacts from Mobile Device Contact Lists
• When importing contacts from an Android or iOS device using Salesforce1 into a Salesforce org that has State and Country picklist
fields enabled, the State field isn’t populated.
• If you have multiple mobile phone fields in your mobile device’s contact, and the Phone field in Salesforce is empty:
– The first mobile phone field maps to the Phone field in Salesforce.
– The second mobile phone field maps to the Mobile field in Salesforce.
• When you select emails from the mobile device, Salesforce1 typically pulls the second email address location. If labels are created
on the device, the integration tries to map from the local work email address to the standard contact email address in Salesforce.
Contact History Limitations
• Modifications to the related lists for a contact aren’t tracked in the contact history.
Limitations for Enabling and Managing the Customer Portal for Contacts and Person
Accounts
• Delegated administrators can’t assign the High Volume Customer Portal license to contacts.
• When you create a customer user from the API, the Chatter Answers User permission isn’t selected for that user.
• When person account users try to self-register for a customer portal, they receive an email notification that instructs them to contact
the portal admin. See Enable Customer Portal Login and Settings.
• You can’t merge person accounts that are enabled to use a customer portal.
48
Salesforce Limits Overview
Contact Roles Limitations
• You can’t delete a person account that’s enabled to use a customer portal.
• You can transfer contacts that are enabled for a partner portal only to accounts that are also enabled for a partner portal.
Limitations for Changing Accounts on Contacts That Are Enabled for Self-Service
• On the Self-Service portal, contacts that are Self-Service users can view cases only if they’re associated with their current account.
• Self-Service users can’t view opportunities.
Limitations for Deleting Self-Service for Contacts and Person Accounts
• You can’t delete an active Self-Service user. You can only deactivate the user’s access to the Self-Service portal.
• You can’t delete a contact or person account that’s associated with an active Self-Service user. Instead, deactivate the user’s access
to the Self-Service portal, and then delete the contact or person account.
Contact Roles Limitations
Contact roles have some limitations.
EDITIONS
• When you create an opportunity from a contact detail page, that contact becomes the primary
contact on the opportunity. However, a contact role isn’t automatically assigned.
• On case contact roles, the Primary option isn’t available. The primary contact on a case is
always the contact listed under Contact Name in the Case Detail section.

Quote Template Limits
In some cases, a field may not appear on the quote templates palette or on a PDF created from a template.
• Text fields can't be used on quote templates if the default value for the field exceeds 255 characters.
• If a user is unable to view or update a field because of field-level security settings, that field won't appear on PDFs created from a
template, even if the template includes that field. Read-only fields will appear on PDFs.
• A field that appears on a quote page layout but does not have a value for a given quote will appear on the quote templates palette,
but won't appear on PDFs created from that quote.
• Quote line item fields that don't contain data won't appear as columns in a list when a PDF is created, even if the template includes
that field. For example, if no quote line items offer a discount, the Discount column won't appear, even if the list includes the
Discount field.
• If a related list is not included on a quote page layout, it won't appear on the template palette or any PDFs for quotes that use that
page layout.
Quote PDF Limits
• Text fields displayed in a related list in a quote PDF are truncated to less than 256 characters. This limitation occurs on rich text area
fields, other types of text fields, standard fields, and custom fields.
• Quote PDFs do not support right-to-left languages. The text aligns to the left side of the page instead of the right.
Schedules Limits
Limits for the schedule types an organization can use.
Your Salesforce administrator determines which types of schedules your organization can use: quantity schedules, revenue schedules,
or both. The administrator also specifies which types of schedules can be established for each separated product.
If schedules are referenced in Apex, only one of the schedule types (quantity or revenue) can be disabled. For example, if Apex references
the schedule object (represented as OpportunityLineItemSchedule in the code), one of the schedule types can be disabled,
but not both.

users. A map view is defined as one of the following:
• Display of an individual standard address map.
Note: Display of billing and shipping address on the same record is considered separate map views.
• Display of a single Visualforce map.
• Display of a map marker whose location is specified by an address on a Visualforce map.
Note: Map markers with location defined by latitude and longitude don't incur a map view.
• Each autocomplete on standard address field lookup.
